Applicants may seek scientific and/or technical support from CDFW under Tiers 2 and 4 EFPs.
Under the special conditions of these permits, CDFW may assume responsibilities or duties to oversee completion of specific aspects of an EFP project. The scope of CDFW facilitation of an EFP project must be mutually agreed upon by the applicant and CDFW before application submittal, as part of the pre-application consultation.
In addition, a permit fee reduction option is available for EFP projects that align with state conservation or management interests and priorities.
Please visit EFP webpage for more information or contact the EFP coordinator.
